Satisfy yourself with the best Thai street food!
A while back I wrote about one of my favorite Chinese restaurants in Silom, and Tara, a reader, commented on the article suggesting I try a famous Teochew restaurant in town. She mentioned that her father was Teochew from Singapore (now) and that everytime her family would come to Bangkok, New Peng Chieng (นิวเปงเชียง), was one […]
Throughout Bangkok you’ll find tons and tons of local khao gaeng (rice and curry ข้าวแกง) restaurants. While I like to eat noodles occasionally, I’m more of a rice and curry kind of guy most of the time – so I’m always on the hunt for good restaurants like this. Located on Chula Soi 11, within […]
Thai suki is a dish I really enjoy eating, especially when I want something that’s healthy and not too oily. It’s not the most filling dish when you’re really starving, but for a snack, or part of a dinner, and when you want to eat some vegetables, I highly recommend it. Located at the North […]
You’ll know that you’re in the exact right place as soon as you see the lady in the cowboy hat – standing next to a mountain of golden pig legs – which have been slow stewed into tender perfection. If you ask me, it’s really quite an intelligent street food move, standing out with that […]
In Chiang Mai there are a number of well known restaurants that specialize in northern Thai food (Lanna cuisine). Tong Tem Toh (ต๋อง เต็ม โต๊ะ) is sort of a trendy type of Thai restaurant. They’ve upgraded from normal Thai street food or classic restaurants with the Pepsi or Maggi tablecloths, and instead they have dark wooden […]
During November of last year, I had a freelance assignment to eat at some of Bangkok’s best halal restaurants, try a bunch of food, take photos, and write about them. I was really excited about the opportunity for this freelance job, and I was able to discover quite a few gems, serving both Thai and […]
Gai Yang Jirapan (ไก่ย่างจีระพันธ์), in Bangkok, is famous for their southern Thai style grilled chicken (gai yang ไก่ย่าง). What’s the difference between the regular Bangkok Thai gai yang recipe, like they might serve at Sabai Jai Gai Yang? That lies mainly with the use of kamin (ขมิ้น), fresh turmeric root, which is commonly associated with southern […]
Watch it on YouTube here: http://youtu.be/m8U6pFIgzSI A few weeks ago I posted an article about Yusup Pochana, an outstanding Thai halal restaurant. Nearly everything you could possibly order here is delicious, especially all forms of khao mok, and the goat curry. Enjoy this video about Thai halal food!
Despite the diversity of restaurants in Bangkok, the amount of other southeast Asian restaurants, can just about be counted on two hands. There are a couple Malaysian restaurants, one Filipino restaurant, and just a few Indonesian restaurants. Opening just at the beginning of 2013, Rasa Khas is a welcome addition to the nearly non-existent Indonesian […]
I’m really not joking… The grill at Bangkok’s “Dee Moo Satay” (ตี๋หมูสะเต๊ะ), is quite honestly the longest grill I’ve ever seen in my life, and it’s probably longer than the bus you took to school when you were a kid. The photo above shows less than half of the full grill, it’s that long! When […]
